Hi BJB, Here's a couple of ideas for you. 1) Newport price/share can be changed any time before the next update by exiting the Stock in question and going to the main menu. Look for "Maintenance" and click there, next click on "Fix a Price" and select the date and price that needs to be changed (in your case, this week's). 2) Instead of fiddling with SAFE on those stocks where you want to start selling at a profit, make a change to raise Portfolio Control that will raise the first SELL price up to your level of contentment! First, set the Buy and Sell Resistance (SAFE) back to 10% each. Then press SHIFT and F4. That brings up the Portfolio Control window. Start with today's price/share times the current number of shares in the account as the Portfolio Control value and click on the "calculate" button to see what the Buy and Sell prices will be for your minimums. If this isn't high enough to get that first Sell into the black, keep raising the PC value slightly and recalculating the resulting HOLD ZONE. Eventually you'll get to a satisfactory value. Also, your next Buy point will also be more realistic this way. Yes, once one has a bit of time in using AIM, a re-read of Mr. L's book is quite interesting. I find things in there I missed or have forgotten each time I read it. Best regards, Tom
